A Chicago resident
was arrested Saturday on a charge of trafficking with an offender at the
Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, the Department of Correction (DOC) is
reporting.

According to DOC,
Cierra Childs, 25, was stopped for questioning by correctional officers
before her visit with inmate Brandon Rogers. DOC said that calls which she’d
had with Rogers “led Investigators to believe she may have something on
her.”

Childs was found to
be in possession of two packages containing a green plant-like material, DOC
said.

Childs was booked
into the LaPorte County jail on a charge of trafficking with an offender, a
Level 5 felony punishable by a term of up to eight years.

Rogers, 29, of
Hammond, is serving a three-year sentence through Lake County on convictions
for resisting arrest and burglary. His earliest projected release date was
April 8, 2018.

“Due to the hard
work and diligence of our Investigative and Intelligence staff this person
was taken off of the streets and will no longer be able to continue to
traffic with offenders at the Indiana State Prison,” Superintendent Ron Neal
said.
